I'm not finding significant coverage for him. Australian search engine Trove yields namesakes and a few mentions of his memorial lecture but nothing indepth about him. LibStar (talk) 23:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep I found this article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00049999.1977.9656566 in a peer reviewed journal, usually obituaries are only dedicated to impactful individuals in the field and the article should give at least enough coverage for a short WP article. The memorial lecture further indicates notability. --hroest 15:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep per hroest. I think the Royal Australian Planning Institute Journal reference is probably sufficient, when combined with the eponymous lecture series, to meet GNG. More RSs would obviously help but I'm satisfied notability requirements have been met. Cabrils (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep A bit of a borderline, but convinced by Hannes Röst's argument. Jeppiz (talk) 00:16, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
